Is that the second SG sample for determining FG? 1.006 is pretty good for an FG for most styles of beer, but not all. What did you brew and the yeast used?
 
It was a pale ale. Partial mash. White labs California ale liquid yeast. I used a wirflock tablet and yeast fuel at end of boil.
 
Looks like 1.014. That sounds like a pretty good number.

Ha. I've only ever done 1 hydrometer reading before and when I read your post, and saw the pic I was over here thinking I misread mine last week.
 
week 2 looks like 1.006
week 3 looks like 1.004
Flars is right, take another one in a couple days, but typically 3wk in primary is pretty good for a medium gravity pale ale
 
I'm carbed and drinking my 6+ abv ipas by the third week. I guess I don't have to worry about bottle bombs, but mine have all shown stable gravity after about 6 days. The last one I brewed on Saturday, took a gravity reading/dry hopped 6 days later, then another 5 days after that with the same gravity reading so I cold crashed and kegged it. My IPA's pretty much all go that way.
